Cuba expresses solidarity with Brazil

Cuba reaffirmed its solidarity with the people and social movements of Brazil, given the political crisis the South American nation is currently facing, which aims to destabilize the government of current President Dilma Rousseff.

This Thursday, March 31, an event in support of Brazil was held at the Cuban Institute of Friendship with the Peoples (ICAP). “This act stems from the need to express our unconditional support to the government of Rousseff, facing a process of impeachment set in motion by the opposition, the oligarchy and big media conglomerates,” the Hero of the Republic of Cuba, Fernando González Llort, stated.

The vice president of ICAP added that the onslaught also seeks to discredit the popular former leader of the Brazilian Workers’ Party, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva.
